[Mailman-Developers] bin/arch traceback

[Greg Ward]

A few weeks back (http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-developers/
2002-November/013960.html), Andrew Clark reported a traceback from
bin/arch on some lists some of the time.  I've just hit the same bug
(our tracebacks are identical):

$ ./bin/arch <listname>
[...churn, churn, churn...]
#04077 <mailman.4063.1039018365.21495.mems-talk@memsnet.org>

Andrew said that renaming away the existing HTML archive did the trick
-- I'll do that, but I don't like making the archives for this list
unavailable even for a few minutes.  (It takes a while to generate the
whole archive, which goes back to 1994.)  Or should I "cvs up" instead,
ie. has this bug been fixed?

Thanks --
